Join the Sixties generation DVD Blu-ray Releases Masthead created by Good & Associates

OnVideo's Weekly Guide to Home Video Releases Tuesday, June 18 -- Monday, June 24 All DVD Releases Stoker "Stoker" is the U.S.-directorial debut of the great South Korean director Park Chan-wook ("Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance," "Oldboy," "Thirst") and it's quite an achievement. What starts out as a dysfunctional family drama spirals into an involving and intriguing mystery-thriller that becomes a modern-day riff on Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt" -- but without the sheen of mid-1940s innocence. This film is dark, rude and off-kilter through and through, with a cast of characters whose motives and actions just can't be fathomed -- at first. The story line: India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father (who was also her best friend) (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. She's an outcast in her own mind and an outcast at school (one who knows how to defend herself when bullied by one of her male schoolmates). The solitude of her woodsy family estate and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed. When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman, in another of her against-the-grain-casting roles), India thinks the void left by her father's death is finally being filled by his closest bloodline. But soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. Uncle Charlie first makes moves on Evie, then decides he wants to get closer to India. But instead of feeling outrage or horror, the girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him, eventually unraveling a horrible mystery that has soiled the Stoker family's past. Though it wasn't a huge boxoffice success, "Stoker" -- written by actor Wentworth Miller -- is one of the most original and auspicious releases of the year. Vitals: Director: Park Chan-wook. Stars: Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, Dermot Mulroney, Lucas Till, Jacki Weaver. 2013, CC, MPAA rating: R, 99 min., Mystery-Thriller, Box office gross: $1.628 million, Fox. Advertisement Quartet Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday? Vitals: Director: Dustin Hoffman. Stars: Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay, Sheridan Smith, Pauline Collins, Luke Newberry, Eline Powell. 2012, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 98 min., Comedy Drama, Box office gross: $17.843 million, The Weinstein Company. Jack the Giant Slayer Director Bryan Singer transfers the greenscreen and special effects he used so well in the big screen versions of Marvel Comics' "X-Men" to a fairy tale -- with less illustrious results. Actually, Singer takes the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale and translates it into a myth: Ancient monks, in their effort to literally climb to heaven, plant magic beans that grow into a pathway to a land in the sky unfortunately inhabited by human-eating giants, who travel down the beanstalk to conquer mankind. Fortunately, a brave king creates a magical crown that controls the giants, defeating them and sending them back to their land. Centuries later, the evil advisor to the current king uncovers the ancient monks' beans and when they unwittingly fall into the hands of a young peasant, Jack, the gateway between Earth and the giants' lair is reopened, and the fight for the world begins again -- forcing Jack into the battle of his life to stop them. The film was a critical and financial failure and for good reason: the acting is bland and artificial, the story line uneventful and predictable. Nicholas Hoult is a whitebread hero as Jack, Stanley Tucci plays his role as Roderick, the evil advisor, with off putting aplomb; the only person really having fun here is Ewan McGregor as head of the king's army -- he must have been tickled pink with the size of his paycheck. Is this the Bryan Singer of "The Usual Suspects"? Vitals: Director: Bryan Singer. Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Warwick Davis, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Ewen Bremner. 2013, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 114 min., Fantasy Adventure, Box office gross: $62.958 million, Warner.

Marketa Lazarova BLU-RAY DEBUT and DVD (1967) In its home country, Frantisek Vlacil's "Marketa Lazarova" has been hailed as the greatest Czech film ever made; for many U.S. viewers, it will be a revelation. Based on a novel by Vladislav Vancura, this stirring and poetic depiction of a feud between two rival medieval clans is a fierce, epic, and meticulously designed evocation of the clashes between Christianity and paganism, humankind and nature, love and violence. Vlacil's approach was to re-create the textures and mentalities of a long-ago way of life, rather than to make a conventional historical drama, and the result is dazzling. With its inventive widescreen cinematography, editing, and sound design, "Marketa Lazarova" is an experimental action film. New high-definition digital film restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition.
